And its a good prize too.



Good Luck!]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000383 Man: Trouble at mill.
Woman: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Man: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Woman: Pardon?
Man: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treddle.
Woman: I don't understand what you're saying.
Man: (slightly irritably and with exaggeratedly clear accent) One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treddle.
Woman: Well what on earth does that mean?
Man: *I* don't know - Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

(JARRING CHORD - The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang is just Cardinal Fang)

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is suprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

I always posted at work before and I just haven't had time since like November. I need to make it a point to post from home.

Or better yet. Set up a page formatted for my iphone to post from. Then I can post from anywhere.

Future posts:
1. Thoughts on the Macbook Air. (my boss got one.)
2. Steph and I got a riding lawn mower.
3. World of Warcraft update.
4. General Life update.

See all these great posts rolling around in my head.]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:00:00 -0800 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000381
So... Why is my blogging cyclical? I get into a blogging rhythm and everything is good. After awhile I feel like i have fallen into a rut. I try to break out but can't so I just stop dancing for awhile. In the past I have gotten back into blogging by redesigning my site. i get all into it and can't wait to start posting again. The problem this time is that I really like my design. I don't want to change it.

So what do i do?

Well I have decided to post something and hope that people comment. (even though I am sure most of you have moved on to other blogs :-] ) Hopefully I get a dialog going again with my blog...

If not...

I might just have to redesign.]]> Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000380

For those who don't know, Steph and I just took a week off and went to Chicago for a mini-vacation and Stephen and Neelie Gulley's wedding. We stayed downtown for the first part of the week and then went out to Wheaton on Thursday for the wedding.

Chicago is a pretty cool city. The Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium were pretty cool and we went up to the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower. (That is the highest floor I have ever been on. The Empire State Building only lets you go to 102.)

We got some great pictures and I will post some soon on the left column. Including one of a giant spider attacking Chicago. It was freaky.]]> Tue, 14 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000378
I haven't decided how I feel about being 30 yet. It doesn't really bother me. But I am not excited about it either. I think the thing is that I just don't care but I feel like I should because it is a 'milestone' or whatever.

I think once you get to a certain age you start to measure how old you are by events in your life not years. So if that is the case then I am somewhere between House and Kid. Is 'Puppy' like House and a Half?]]> Tue, 07 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000377 of GloryReborn ) this morning and he made a joke about me looking at my iPhone walking across campus and falling into the fountain. I then had to explain to my brother that sadly, the fountain is now a pretty, green, grassy area. It made me realize how much i missed the fountain. In order to understand any further you have to have a working knowledge of the now dead fountain.

For those non-baylor among us:
Picture in your head two missile launchers sat in a line with one higher than the other. Now picture water coming off the ends of them. Next imagine the whole area being a pool about one foot deep with rectangular concrete blocks coming up out of the water. You got it.

I know that every baylor student has walked from Old Main to the SUB and one day realize that they didn't look down. They walked across the fountain and never even checked to make sure that they stepped on the blocks instead of the water. I also know that way more than would admit have missed the blocks somewhere during the second semester of their freshman year when they thought they had it down only to realize that you can't really do that until your Sophomore year.

I eventually got to the point where I didn't even notice the fountain. i walked across it perhaps everyday and never even looked down. It was just more sidewalk with some 'puddles' ( funny how you could usually keep your feet dryer by walking through the fountain than around it due to poor drainage. )

I miss the fountain. We need a fountain.

To my surprise this morning as I was mulling this over I had a meeting in Sid Rich 2.0 and found what looks to be new fountains in the recently remodeled courtyard. I will take some pictures of SR2.0 when I get a chance and post them for those alumni to see and be amazed. It is really, really nice inside.

Update: I added a picture of Sid Rich to the photos on the left. Believe it or not this is the first floor hall on the Library side.

Update 2: Looks like the picture of Sid Rich broke my MagPieRSS?!? I don't have time to mess with it right now because I am at work but I will look at it later tonight. Until then you can check out my photostream here:

Update 3: Fixed. check out sid rich 2.0]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000376
Anyway. The thing is that Ryn0 and Angela are coming into town and I can't wait to see them. I haven't seen Ryn0 in a good while. I read his blog to try to keep up but I like pictures and he doesn't post a lot of pictures.

So it is gonna be fun to have everyone at my party and I can't wait to see Ryn0.

disclaimer: for info as to why this post sounds like I am in love with Ryn0 check out his post over at mr. & mrs. smith]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000375
Cell phones and PDA's that don't get in your way don't do enough to be helpful. Cell phones and PDA's that are helpful get in your way.

Enter the iPhone.

The iphone already does a lot of business-centric tasks better than other phones and PDA's that I have used before even though they were targeted at business users. This is not because it has the features. Those devices like the Moto-Q and the iPaq best the iphone hands down if you just look at a feature chart.

No, it is how you use the features you have. I get my email from 3 different accounts, calls from 2 different numbers and text messages all on my iphone. (Now if this new level of connectivity is good or bad remains to be seen but I am sure my co-workers appreciate it.)

I also never more than a click away from google, the mother of all tech-support resources.

Last week while walking across campus from one meeting to another; I checked my personal email account, noticed that my electric bill was ready, logged on to TXU.com, paid it, called stephanie and told her how much it was and then checked Oprah.com for tickets at her request. The only down-side was walking into a few trees (kidding (sorta))

This thing is fantastic.]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000374
Why you ask?

You see, this post is coming from my brand new iPhone!!!

That's right.]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000373
The sad thing is that this isn't a real post. I am just posting to say that I did. I will say however to check back later today for some real posting goodness.

Ninja Bunny Hat

Of course cliff is neither a ninja or a bunny. He does however like Japanese culture and small cartoonish animals so...

EDIT: Actually I think this is more of a Cliff thing. Ninja Kitty Hat :-)]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000371
This is where my mixed emotions begin to take an upward turn. The thing is, I really want an iPhone. I also know that it is harder to update a phone than a computer. I would rather the iPhone go through more QA than Leopard be on time. Lets face it. 10.5 will probably be at 10.5.2 or 10.5.3 before the iPhone gets an update. That means that 1.0 release bugs will live in the iPhone a lot longer than in Leopard. Point One for this is a good idea.

Point Two. The only groups that buy a lot between June and October are educational institutions. Most of them either have an OS Maintenance Program or don't care if they are using Tiger or Leopard or Liger. They will continue to buy Apple hardware and will actually appreciate a more stable OS when it does ship. See. I was a little worried. I was excited about 10.5 but I was worried too. I saw an OS go release final one week and then ship the next. Since I work in OS and Software support I don't like that idea. I would much rather it go release final in June or July and then ship in October after it has been tested thoroughly.

Finally I am a member of ADC so I actually already have Leopard anyway. In fact, I am posting this post from 10.5 So I am not really gonna have to wait till October anyway. Lets call that Point One for "ehhh, this isn't a bad idea".

So. As you can see Good feelings beat out Mixed 2-1. And Bad didn't even show up.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 17:00:00 -0700 http://www.stephanieandmicah.com/blog/entry.php?entid=000370
Sophie's grandparents said she enjoyed it. That probably has something to do with the fact that they used a blow dryer to warm her up after every time she went outside. I tell you what. Grandparent's spoil people. All she gets here is a somewhat clean towel.]]>
